Trust the exposed god
One statue enters the hall already exposed: a feather means every oath it swears is true, a struck feather means every one is a lie. That single certainty is the thread you pull.
Glyph Oath
Read the oaths.
Pick the door.
Five gods stand in a sealed hall. Each swears an oath in pictograms — and half of them lie about everything. Exactly one door is the clear passage down. Work out which one before the sand runs out.

DEPTH 34
Anubis is exposed with a struck feather — every word he swears is a lie.
He swears door 2 is not the way down. So door 2 is exactly the way down.
Clear passage. Depth 4.
How a hall works
Four moves, one finger
No timers to fight, no reflexes to train. Every hall is a small proof, and the tomb never builds one you cannot finish.
Read the oaths
Tap a statue and its oath is spelled out on the plate below. There are only eight kinds of oath in the whole game, and they are all drawn, never written.
Mark the doors
Tap a door to cycle your own mark — blank, safe, danger. The scribe keeps your marks so you can reason across a whole hall without holding it all in your head.
Hold to open
Press and hold the door you believe in until the ring fills. Stairs take you deeper. A scorpion costs a torch, a cave-in ends the descent — and every mistake exposes one more god forever.
The language
Eight pictograms. No words.
This is the entire vocabulary of the tomb. Learn these eight strips and you can read every hall in the game — in any language, at any age.
Door 2 hides a scorpion.
Door 3 does not hide the clear passage.
Thoth always deceives.
Anubis always keeps faith.
At least one of doors 1 and 3 is the clear passage.
Doors 2 and 3 both hide a scorpion or a cave-in.
The clear passage stands to the left of door 3.
If door 1 is the clear passage, then Horus keeps faith.
The last two oaths only appear in the second and third tomb.
Inside the tomb
Deduction, with stakes
Everything below the puzzle exists for one reason: to make a wrong door hurt and a clean read feel earned.
Torches and sand
Three torches go down with you. A wrong door costs one, and so does letting the hourglass turn. When the last flame dies the descent is over and you climb out with what you carried.
Flawless chains
Clear three halls in a row on the first try and every scarab doubles. Six in a row and they triple. One mistake, one turned hourglass, and the chain is gone.
Three amulets
The Eye of Horus reveals what one door hides. The Amulet of Thoth forces a statue to show its nature. The Mirror of Hathor relights the torch your last mistake took.
Thoth's Trial
Every three depths earn an attempt at three questions on ancient Egypt. Right answers pay scarabs; a perfect three opens a chest of lapis.
The scribe's count
Open a treasure and the scribe brings his balance. Match the offering's weight in hieratic numerals — a stroke is one, a heel ten, a coil a hundred, a lotus a thousand — and the hoard doubles.
The Oracle and the Sanctum
Three fresh tasks every day, a streak to keep, and a sanctum where scarabs buy more torches, more sand and a scribe who does more of the bookkeeping for you.
Three tombs, twelve depths each
The descent gets meaner
Each tomb adds one new idea and never takes it away. Plus an Endless Descent that keeps going until your last torch does.
Tomb I · 12 depths
Tomb of the Scribe
Where the oaths are simple and the sand is kind.
3 doors2 statues120s
Three doors, two statues, and the oaths arrive one kind at a time. Nothing is thrown at you until you have used the last thing.
Tomb II · 12 depths
Tomb of the Falcon
Some statues have nothing at all to say.
4 doors3 statues90s
Adds the left-of oath and mute statues that only take up a slot — a god who says nothing tells you nothing, and the sand no longer waits.
Tomb III · 12 depths
Tomb of the Devourer
Amit marks one door, and Amit is always hungry.
5 doors4 statues90s
Adds conditional oaths, and one door wears the jaws. Open that one and it takes two torches instead of one.

No hall is ever unsolvable
Every layout is checked by a solver before you see it. If the oaths and the exposed statue do not point at exactly one door, the hall is thrown away and built again. You never lose to a guess the tomb forced on you.
